PHP Syntax

PHP script is executed on the server, and the plain HTML result is sent back to the browser.


Basic PHP Syntax

A PHP script can be placed anywhere in the document.

A PHP script starts with <?php and ends with ?>

<?php

// PHP code goes here

?>

The default file extension for PHP files is ".php".

A PHP file normally contains HTML tags, and some PHP scripting code.

Below, we have an example of a simple PHP file, with a PHP script that uses a built-in PHP function "echo" to output the text "Hello World!" on a web page:

Note: PHP statements end with a semicolon (;).

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

    <body>

        <h1>My first PHP page</h1>

        <?php

        echo "Hello World!";

        ?> 

    </body>

</html>
